PRIVACY POLICY

The Cocktail Shop (owned by Melbourne Cocktails Pty Ltd) requires some information from its users to provide a service. This notice explains how we collect, store, use and protect your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act, and aims to inform you about our privacy policy in regard to:

How we collect, store and use your information

Melbourne Cocktails Pty Ltd is the sole owner of this website. Any information collected will not be passed on, sold, rented or disclosed to any other person or entity. The only exception to this rule is in the case that the business is sold in part or in full in the future.

Our website automatically collects some information, including its users’ IP address; web browser type and version; operating system; and referral URLs.

Information voluntarily provided to us via web forms and emails will be used to respond to your enquiry. Unless you opt-out, we will also use your information to send marketing messages and website content. We never share your information with any third party, other than to fulfil your request as necessary, or if we are obliged to do so by law.

We use a third party to assist with merchant and product rating and review collection. This valuable customer feedback is used to provide unbiased information to new potential customers about our service and products. From time to time, we may contact you via email for customer surveys and your feedback may be displayed publicly. Your personal information will be kept confidential.

Also, this website interfaces with other websites and social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. If you click on a link or choose to “like” or “share” information from this website, you should be aware of the privacy policy of that service. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites or services.

 

How you can access and control your information

In accordance with The Spam Act, all electronic communication from Melbourne Cocktails Pty Ltd includes an Unsubscribe link. You may opt out of any future communication from us simply by clicking the Unsubscribe link.

Email us at hello@melbournecocktails.com any time to find out what information we have about you. You can also ask us to update the information we have on file if you find that it is not accurate, up-to-date or complete. You can also ask us to delete your data. To protect your privacy and the privacy of others, we will need evidence of your identity before we can grant you access to information about you or change it.

 

How your information is kept safe and secure

We take your privacy seriously and ensure that your information is appropriately protected.

You can use this website without sharing personal information. If you contact us we will collect your email address and any other identifying information you provide, such as a name or phone number.

Any personal information you share with us via our website is encrypted and transmitted to us securely. However, transmission of information over the internet is not entirely secure and is done at your own risk. You can reduce personal risk by verifying that the page you are using has a closed lock icon in your web browser’s address bar, or by looking for “https” at the beginning of the URL.

We also protect your personal information offline by ensuring that it is stored in a password protected environment.
